CAQM Reviews Delhi Dust Pollution Control Measures with Senior Officials

The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) held a special high-level review meeting with officials from various Delhi government departments to control rising dust pollution in the national capital. The joint review meeting was chaired by CAQM Chairperson Rajesh Verma and the Chief Secretary of Delhi.

Officials highlighted the need to strictly adhere to pollution control norms in view of adverse weather conditions. Clear guidelines were issued to field officers to immediately and strictly enforce the statutory directives issued by the CAQM.

The Municipal Corporation of Delhi was directed to intensify the removal of dust and waste accumulated on roads and open spaces. The Delhi Pollution Control Committee was advised to ensure better coordination among various departments and agencies. Expressing displeasure over non-compliance with dust screens and wind barriers at construction sites, the commission ordered strict action against project operators and responsible officials violating pollution control regulations. CAQM is continuously tracking the implementation of these decisions.
